Learn from master crafter Lis-el Crowley how-to to fabricate these stunning metal clay hinged earrings complete with some cubic zirconia bling!

Lis-el has developed a new approach to making hinges that is far simpler than many of the techniques being used in metal clay at this time. Using hinges in these earrings will lay the foundation for you to begin incorporating them into your work in your own creative way.

Watch and learn how Ms. Crowley uses scratch foam to create a unique design, and then how to set small faceted stones which will be fired in place.

Suitable for intermediate to advanced students, this workshop will cover the following:

  • Initial design of piece including hinge and stone placement
  • Best practices for setting and firing small faceted gemstones
  • Best practices for using scratch foam to create your own textures
  • Creating and attaching hinge knuckles
  • Firing, finishing and assembling the earrings, including creating hinge pins out of sterling silver wire.

PLUS, 2 bonus demonstrations are included!

First, learn to use a pen plater and add a gold plated edging to your piece or see how to add alcohol inks to resin and give your piece a “faux transparent enamel” look.

Included in your purchase is a PDF with photos, notes and online resources plus a class video to watch as many times as you like.

Please note: the PDF is not a stand-alone instructional booklet.

We are deeply saddened at the passing of Lis-el Crowley, and we keep her spirit alive by offering her videos to students around the world for the opportunity to learn from a true master.

“Creating and teaching is at the core of just about everything that I do, I find inspiration everywhere and enjoy the camaraderie and community that is built when people of like minds and spirits gather together.”
~Lis-el Crowley
